Free PDF Printer

The Bullzip PDF Printer works as a Microsoft Windows printer and allows you to write
PDF documents from virtually any Microsoft Windows application.

This program is FREEWARE with limitations, which means that there is a FREE version for
personal and commercial use up to 10 users.
It does not contain any advertising or popups.
For commercial applications with more than 10 users there are commercial
versions available with advanced features.

Download and Installation

When the setup has completed you will have a printer called Bullzip PDF Printer. Now you are ready to print from your other applications.

During the installation it will check if you have all the components needed
to run the software. If some of the required componets such as
GPL Ghostscript are missing, it will suggest to download and install them
for you.

Uninstall

If you later want to uninstall the program you can do so through the
Add or Remove programs feature of Microsoft Windows.

Note: On Windows 8.1 Preview, you may need to delete the printer icon manually
under "Printers and Devices" after running a normal uninstall.

MSI Package

If you want to have an MSI package for the setup program then we can
recommend the enterprise edition or show you how to build you own
customized MSI package for Windows Installer.

How-To Make a Translation

Locate the column with the language that you want to complete.
If your language is not listed then you just add a new column and write the name of your language.
You don't have to fill in the rest of the codes in the green header fields.
The information in those fields will be updated by us using our culture information.

Create your translations in the selected column.

Save and email the Excel file to . Please include a small description of what you have translated.

A normal desktop or laptop computer counts as one user.
If you install it on a Terminal or Citrix server then the number of users
is the total number of users with a login to that server.

Can we use it for educational or non-profit organizations?

There are licensing models for both educational and non-profit
organizations. Both license types are heavily discounted but not free.
They are designed in a way where you do not have to keep track of the
number of user and they can be used by both students and employees.

I'm a software developer and want to redistribute the PDF Printer with
my own software. Do I need a license for that?

You need a redistribution license if you want to redistribute the PDF
Printer on your own redistribution media. This could be a DVD or your
web site. A redistribution license offers a royalty free redistribution
model, which is what most software companies want.
The alternative to a redistribution license is to send your users to this
web page to download the program themselves. In this model your users
are subject to the normal license conditions and must buy a license if
they have more than 10 users per company.

What is the difference between the Bullzip PDF Printer and the bioPDF PDF Writer?

There is no major technical difference between the two products.
The products are branded differently and the bioPDF version is meant for
the commercial market. Both versions are supported by the same group of
people. However, support for the commercial version is prioritized over
the free version.

TempFolder registry setting added for control of temporary folder for the printer port.

2010-05-11 (7.1.0.1186)

Smarttitle macro updated to filter out the [Compatibility Mode] tag in Microsoft Office.

New registry settings 'Disable Impersonation', 'Application Data', 'Common Application Data' and 'Local Application Data' were added to improve printing from IIS and sharing the printer on the network.

Shows messages and SaveAs dialogs in the user's context. In theory this should improve the support on Terminal Server and Citrix. However, it has not been tested.

New Feature: The output name in the settings.ini can contain macro names such as <docname> and <date>, which will be substituted with the actual document name and current date when the PDF document is generated.
